Sinopsis

A MYSTERIOUS DISEASE. A CONNECTED MEDIEVAL WORLD. A STORY THAT CHANGED EUROPE.
How could something too small to see travel across continents, enter mighty cities, disrupt kingdoms, and transform the lives of millions?
THE BLACK DEATH: A HISTORY FOR CURIOUS KIDS takes young readers on an unforgettable journey into one of the most dramatic periods of the Middle Ages. Written in clear, engaging language and brought to life with FULL-COLOR ILLUSTRATIONS, this book turns a complicated historical event into an exciting investigation for curious minds.
Follow the mystery from distant Eurasian landscapes and expanding trade networks to Crimea, Mediterranean ships, Florence, Paris, Britain, Scandinavia, and beyond. Discover how rats, fleas, and Yersinia pestis played their part—and why medieval doctors struggled to understand an enemy they could not see.
Readers will discover how people responded with medicine, faith, fear, courage, and compassion; why dangerous rumors led to unfair persecution; and how some individuals chose evidence and protection over blame.
Then discover what happened after the great wave faded. With fewer workers available, wages and opportunities changed. Peasants gained greater bargaining power, some women entered new economic roles, old ideas faced new questions, and European society began adapting in remarkable ways.
